Thoughts;

The movie starts out with Brittany Snow’s character at a job interview at a dinner. She is talking about “an accident” although you never find out exactly what she is referring to. It then cuts to her at home talking to her brother. You find out that he is sick and she is going to meet with the doctor about the bills. From there, the movie goes on.  She is invited to dinner by a man at the doctor’s office, it’s a little creepy and based on the name of the movie you know that something is going to happen.

When she gets to the mansion for dinner, you then meet the others. During dinner Iris is offered a large sum of money to eat meat when she says she’s a vegetarian. She eats the meat, but then things get crazy. Basically this is a live or die movie where one is going to live while the others are going to die. It’s obvious since the entire movie is based around Iris that she is going to be the winner of the game.

Although almost everyone dies in the movie, it’s not really gory, just creepy. The movie ends with Iris going home, with bags of money, taking a shower, then going in to talk to her brother, who had killed himself during the night while she was gone. Talk about an un-happy ending.
